The Romsdal museum complex has become an architectonic attraction and a treasured landmark which embodies a whole region’s history and identity. The intention is to let the structure signal its meaning and function through an architectural expression and the use of place-specific materials. It should convey an open and progressive attitude that makes diverse utilization possible. The range of perspectives and activities has ensured a broad audience, with the museum already becoming a living centre for the exploration of the region’s history, contemporary culture, and even future.
